What size tube???

cwl111286
I just had a blow out last Friday on my rear tire. Kept it from going over then had to push the bike across 4 lanes of 5 oclock traffic on I77 Coming from Charlotte NC (not fun). Any way, Im driving a 1974 honda cb750k and need a new tube for the back tire. I understand i can use any tire (tube or tubeless) as long as it fits the rim but what size tube do i need. The tire size is a 110/80-18 so it needs to be an 18 inch tube but i see 18 type a, b, c, and d.   Help?

How about a 3.50-4.00 x18 or 4.00 x 4.60 x18 from here.......

We have a Harley store but for the same tire I'm buying they want almost 100 bucks more and they don't actually carry it in stock so they would be ordering it just like i am so i just cut the middle man out and get it for cheaper.

I do own a Harley and the saying is,HD stands for hundred dollars!

I also try to avoid the local HD dealers because the parts are expensive.Can buy cheaper from online dealers.
For tires I go to a motorcycle accessory store.
